This section examines the best celebrity
styles Hair Fans have seen lately - posted here even beforethey hit the Top Ten or enter a
Super-Hair War. We update our Hot List regularly, as new styles and women
come our way!

NAME: Devan Kaney

WHO IS SHE: Host of The Day Ahead on the U.S. cable channel Newsy; formerly on-air in Boise, Idaho

HER STYLE: Long sidepart; we say it's best with waves

WHY WE LIKE IT: Her styles are natural-looking and thick enough that hungry Hair Fans might want to reach for them with a running start. But that could be misleading, because she combs section over the top and probably sprays them into firm position. The waves provide added strength, while she resorts to ear tuckbacks sparingly.

SUPER-HAIR? If she limited her public exposure to TV, we might say yes. But her own Instagram account does her in, as a couple of steamy photos have hair drooping in an eye. She blames one of them on "east coast humidity." If she solves that, her hair future is well above 100 percent. [Posted 8.12.18]

NAME: Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic

WHO IS SHE: President of Croatia

HER STYLE: Sidepart reaching a bit below the shoulders, apparently with added curl

WHY WE LIKE IT: She caught the attention of Hair Fans around the world at the FIFA World Cup final, by winning the style battle over the first lady of France. Her high-risk right side weakened only a bit in the rain, as she embraced players on the pitch after the match. She must have Super-spray to keep the swept-back side holding, even though she can use her ears for control if necessary.

SUPER-HAIR? We're right on the boundary line about this. A strip of hair was weak in post-match ceremonies, but seemed cut to allow for bangs above the right eye. Then there are those (ahem) bikini pictures, where the hair is windblown. Yet we haven't found a ahot with the hair in her eyes. So she has a narrow thumbs-up from us - and we want to see her hair next to Melania Trump's at the next NATO summit. [Posted 7.27.18]

NAME: Vassy Kapelos

WHO IS SHE: Host of Canadian cable TV news program(me) Power and Politics

HER STYLE: Currently mid-length sidepart with apparently natural wave; she's gone longer and straighter at times

WHY WE LIKE IT: While some hosts of similar U.S. shows spend all their time in the studio, she occasionally travels around Canada for stories. Wherever she goes, her styles always seem to be as sharp and well-prepared as the questions for lawmakers ought to be. While she sometimes uses the ears for protection, she seldom wears pins.

SUPER-HAIR? On the air, it seems to be - and that's very good. Trouble is, she posts a lot of off-air material on her Instagram feed. While much of it is humorous, several pictures have messy hair in her eyes. If Canada wants to recover from a disastrous Super-Hair World Cup V, it needs better "power hair" than this.

NAME: Luana Munoz

WHO IS SHE: Morning TV news anchor who moved recently from Norfolk, VA to Shreveport, LA

HER STYLE: Mid-length sidepart, currently displaying plenty of curls although she's had it straighter

WHY WE LIKE IT: "Great thickness and curls," wrote a Hair Fan who suggested her. The picture posted by her current station might make you think otherwise, because the curls are relatively tight. But when they're massed (or is that mixed?) together, they probably have a lot of weighty strength. Teasing atop the forehead helps with the hold.

SUPER-HAIR? "Never in her eyes," the Hair Fan added. Oooh - the challenge is made! That may be true in Shreveport. But last year in Virginia, she posted a photo with her hair at its best.... but a strip of curl in her left eye. Too bad. But thanks for a great suggestion - and now: how does Shreveport keep attracting all these great styles? [Posted 6.29.18]

NAME: Lila Rose

WHO IS SHE: Founder/President of the anti-abortion group Live Action

HER STYLE: Medium-long with adjustable waves

WHY WE LIKE IT: Thick. Plush. Full. Add your own adjective. Her hair is total-volume, and soft-looking on top of that. Her styles can move and bounce. Yet the curl provides a measure of control, or she can tuck hair behind her ears without losing much on the "risky style" scale.

SUPER-HAIR? When she appears in set pieces and on indoor stages, she's jaw-dropping. But the thrill and drama happen when she's out in the elements - and a picture she put on Facebook of an undercover investigation seems to show a breeze pushing the hair into her eyes. So we're disappointed to say our answer is no. But while we don't get into politics here, we're glad this woman with her great hair was allowed to be born. [Posted 6.16.18]

NAME: Helena Humphrey

WHO IS SHE: Business reporter for DW television, based in Germany

HER STYLE: Medium-long sidepart, often curled at the tips

WHY WE LIKE IT: She's not afraid to take some chances in the studio with her hair. This vid-cap shows lift-teasing above the vulnerable left eye - yet there still could be a bit of tucking-back behind her ear for security. She's also appeared with a full tuck-back and none at all; the look can vary from day to day.

SUPER-HAIR? The first time we saw her, she definitely had us watching - but we fear we saw a fully-open left side droop into her eye at one point. So our answer is a sad no. But would we watch her hair in action again? Absolutely yes. CNBC and Fox Business reporters with strong styles may have a European rival. [Posted 6.1.18]

NAME: Tawny Newsome

WHO IS SHE: Comic and singer in the band Four Lost Souls; appearing in TV series such as Nobodies and the podcast Yo, Is This Racist?

HER STYLE: Sideparted curls which she's taken very long (and even straight) at times; our picture from the podcast is on the short side for her

WHY WE LIKE IT: "Good natural curls," a Hair Fan told us. We say amen to that. At their best, they look soft and full enough to use as a pillow - yet strong enough to bounce back time after time, and even bounce a little during head turns to tempt you to try it.

SUPER-HAIR? This is a split decision. She's had longer "dreadlock looks" that drop with ease. Buyt if she sticks to styles like the picture we're posting, we think she has it. The curls are likely to last a long time, and she seems to know how to keep them out of her eyes. We hope she keeps things natural, because we're naturally attracted to it. [Posted 5.18.18]

NAME: Catriona Gray

WHO IS SHE: Model born in Australia; former Miss World Phillippines; current Miss Universe Philippines 2018

HER STYLE: Long sidepart; we think at its best with added wave

WHY WE LIKE IT: She was offered to represent the Philippines in Super-Hair World Cup V, and we can understand why. She's developed a great mass of hair, which she turns up (as in volume) for big occasions. When she does, countless Hair Fans would want to get their hands all over it.

SUPER-HAIR? Her Instagram account has the answer - and it's no. Several posed photos show hair in her eyes. But had she been born in the Philippines, we think she could have represented that country in our Cup well. Those beauty contests have weak standards, don't they? [Posted 5.5.18]
